Our Take
Our Take
Insomnium's latest offering, "Anno 1696," is a mystical musical journey that transports listeners back to a time when metal was all about sword fights and dark forests. This Finnish band has once again delivered a melodic death metal masterpiece that will have you headbanging in no time.
From the ominous opening track "The Twilight Hour" to the epic finale of "Black Moon," Insomnium showcases their trademark blend of haunting melodies and crushing riffs. The intricate guitar work of Ville Friman and Jani Liimatainen is absolutely mesmerising, weaving intricate patterns that will leave you breathless.
Vocalist Niilo Sevänen's growls are as deep and powerful as ever, adding a sense of urgency and desperation to the music. His lyrics touch on themes of ancient battles, forgotten kingdoms, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
The production on "Anno 1696" is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in perfect balance. The drums thunder, the bass rumbles, and the guitars soar, creating a sonic landscape that is both brutal and beautiful.
Overall, "Anno 1696" is a triumphant return for Insomnium, proving once again why they are one of the leading bands in the melodic death metal scene. So grab your sword, don your armour, and prepare for an epic adventure through the realms of metal with Insomnium as your guide.
